my two pennies

Hiall,

Frank Westphal pointed me to this group. I like the draft very much, 
especially the "personal" SIP. I'll try to come up with some SIP 
measures of our current projects - big ones and small ones. 

It appears to me that lowering SIP cannot only be achieved by 
delivering early, but also by specifying late. Can I bring it to 
zero by omitting specification at all? (I guess I misunderstood the 
concept as I remember projects that would acutally have a negative 
number, then. :-))

Concerning the issue of distribution and rollout costs I had a short 
conversation with Pete McBreen following up some claims he make 
in "Questioning XP". Maybe the quoted mail is helpful for some of 
you.
